Play an important role
Syracuse residents serve the Lord
Glons serve on parish board “It’s a continuing renewal of your faith.” So says John and Nancy Glon, of their duties as members of the parish board at Saint Martin de Porres Catholic Church, Syracuse. As parish board members, the Syracuse couple help in the deciding of important matters related to the church. The Glons have been members of the board for the past five years. Also serving on the board are: Tom List, Mr. and Mrs. Ray Gans, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Taylor plus Father Kenneth Sarrazine. Glon commented, “It started as a social thing. We each had our own services and made separate lists. Then we met for breakfast. Then we started meeting on a regular basis." The board has kept the same membership since its beginning. Glon said the board has been considering adding new members.

Advise Father One of the basic duties of the parish board is to advise Father Sarrazine on various business matters. Glon said, '-.We advise him on any major purchases to be made. AJso, changes in the church and the role of the layman.” Mrs. Glon added, “We also discuss any other religious decisions.” Right now the board is considering using part of church collection money to help a mission. The board is also responsible for all the church scheduling. Each member is a special minister able to distribute communion. To become a special minister, each member attended all day sessions in South Bend and Fort Wayne where an in depth study of the whole Eucharist and the layman’s role was studied. The special ministers will soon be able to administer to the sick. The parish board meets once a month in various members’ houses. Mrs. Glon is recording secretary of the group.
Altar Boy Sponsor Besides her duties on the parish board, Mrs. Glon is the altar boy sponsor for the church. She is a commentator and has been teaching catechism for 19years. Glon is an usher. The Glons, who reside on r 4 Syracuse, own Glon Furniture Store in Syracuse. Mrs. Glon is an art teacher at Wawasee High School. Glon drives a school bus.

Very Involved Concerning the parish board, Mrs. Glon had these comments to make, “The people who are on the parish board are good representatives of the ■ community. They all have kids in school and large families.” Mrs. Glon added, “It keeps you humble. There are really so many things involved. It’s kind of your rock of Gibralter in a sea of confusion. It helps you set good examples for your own family and other people.”
